COOKING

the cooking mode and duration can be set.

WARNING: Do not attempt to use the WARM mode for cooking. The food will not
heat fast enough and could cause a health hazard.

cooking time. The time can be adjusted in increments of 30 minutes.

START COOKING

1. Press the ON/OFF button to start the slow cooker.
Note: You cannot change settings once in cooking mode. If you're not happy with the
settings, press ON/OFF to stop the slow cooker. Make the required adjustments and
press ON/OFF to resume cooking.
2. Removing the lid can add up to 20 minutes to the cooking duration each time it is
removed.
3. As slow cooking retains more liquid than many traditional methods of cooking it is
important to allow condensation from the lid to drip back into the ceramic bowl. The
liquid content for the slow cooker recipes is substantially lower than traditional methods
of cooking. The loss of any liquid can dry out food and alter cooking results.
FINISHED
When the set cooking time has elapsed, the slow cooker will automatically change from the set
cooking mode (HIGH or LOW) to WARM mode to keep the food at a safe temperature. The
slow cooker will remain in WARM mode until switched Off or up to a maximum of 20 hours.
1. When ready, press the ON/OFF button to switch the slow cooker Off.
2. Remove the plug from the wall power socket (switch the socket off first, if it's switchable).
3. Using oven gloves remove the lid and set it on a heatproof surface.
4. Remove all the food from the ceramic bowl and then fill the bowl with warm water.
Note: to manually set to WARM mode:
• Press the HIGH/LOW/WARM button until the WARM icon on the display illuminates.
